Chapter 19 First Multiplayer Scenario 3

Chapter 19 First Multiplayer Scenario 3

"One, two, three... Hmm... Just five of them." Feng Bujue counted as he headed to the middle of the street, away from the brighter area. He jumped on the hood of a car and stood on its roof. Holding the wrench in one hand, he looked around him and kept his ears to the wind. Using himself as bait, he stood alone at this high location, which was slightly dark, to attract the attention of those strange babies.

Wang Tanzhi took out his fruit knife and put on the equipment that he had obtained from his earlier Solo Survival Mode—a black helmet. It looked rather untrustworthy to be honest. He stood back to back with Long Aomin. They did not stray far from the streetlight, and each watched one direction of the street carefully.

Meanwhile, Mr. Loneliest and Ms. Saddest chose to deal with this the common way most couples in horror movies would. The girl hugged the man’s arm while the man stood before the girl, typical suicidal positioning.

The shadows moved down the street using the shadows of the buildings and the vehicles to hide their movement. These monsters moved fast, and they appeared in the light for at most one second before disappearing again.

Feng Bujue stood quite far away from the light, and as expected, he was the first one to be assaulted. A monster baby bounced up from the ground and leaped up about two meters tall as it tried to ambush Feng Bujue from behind.

Its movement had been closely followed by Feng Bujue, so the ambush failed. The man turned around to see the monster baby. The monster’s body was coppery green, and its face was extremely ugly. A row of uneven yellow teeth burst out of its lips, its arms were sharp scythes, and it had animalistic features under its knees. The ends of its legs were not feet but hooves.

Feng Bujue had chosen to stand on the roof due to the consideration that the monsters were less than one meter tall. Therefore, to attack a target that was on higher ground, it would have jump. Since it was in midair, it would not be able to evade for a short period of time.

After all, the man was a level ten character. He was exceptional in combat. Long Aomin raised his shield and charged close to one of the monsters. He used the shield to knock it back. Then, he opened his arm and waved. Using the edge of the shield, he knocked into the other monster’s waist to make it lose its balance in the air, causing it to careen from its original trajectory.

Naturally, Feng Bujue would not give up on such a precious opportunity. With that two-second opening, he reacted fast enough to grab the wrench and kill the monster with the injured waist. Once again, the blood and guts splashed over them.

Seeing that he had finished off the monster, Long Aomin quickly ran over to the monster that he had knocked down. He bent his knees and slammed his shield into the creature.

The monster had just landed from the shield’s knockback. It did not have the chance to steady its feet when it saw a large man rush at him. It had no choice but to try to defend itself with its sharp arms. Even though that sparked some friction on the shield, as a monster that was not that strong, cutting through an excellent quality shield was impossible.

Long Aomin roared and slammed the shield into the monster several times. After a wail, the monster was pulverized.

"Where is the other one? We should take this opportunity to end it." Wang Tanzhi finally arrived. He had made his move at the same time as Long Aomin, but the latter had used a skill to move and reached his destination in half of a second while Wang Tanzhi had to run. In those few seconds, Brother Long had already accomplished an assist and a kill.

"Don’t lower your guard. I don’t think it is that sim..." Before Feng Bujue could finish his words, the darkness suddenly descended upon them. All the lights in the city turned off, and even the moon in the sky disappeared.

It felt like the world was swallowed by darkness. The sound of breathing, whispering, and cackling... suddenly became extremely clear in that moment like they were right next to the source, in the darkness that was just beyond arm’s reach.

Several seconds later, like the opening CG, the weak moonlight drizzled upon them again, and the streetlights returned. Everything became how it once was. Except for the last monster that was hiding in the shadows. After the strange ritual that welcomed the darkness, it experienced a drastic change.
